    i find sealing the individual digits in sandwhich bags then placing them in an ice cream container in the freezer the most effective method

    Any other tips? I've seen the detolf ones which aren't too bad but kinda narrow. The larger cabinets I saw at Ikea all had big chunky wooden doors etc.

    IKEA here in Perth have Detolf for $99 at the moment. Maybe Other states too?

    I have the Detolf.

    It's good for 3 seekers on one shelf, 8 autobot cars (cramped but poseable), MP-05 Megatron, FT- Shockwave, Ghost Starscream and Soundwave with a couple of his buddies around him. The top shelf fits MP-01 Prime, MP22-Magnus, Grimlock, FT-Scoria with Bumblebee riding him.

    It's nice, but not big enough anymore.. so i'm gonna get a custom cabinet or maybe a table that i can pose out battle scenes.. Just gotta battle the dust.

    Are there any good alternatives to the IKEA cases? I live nowhere near an IKEA, and the transport company they reccomend on their website claims my postcode is "out of their range." :/

    If budget isn't a concern, shop fit glass cabinets are one of the best so far.

    It seems that once a year, Aldi stock similar cabinets, they are marginally smaller but the shelves can be adjusted. its' worth keeping an eye out if there is one near you.

    I was at a shop the other day that was closing down (under liquidation) and they had the store's glass shelving cabinets for sale. And I would have considered buying one except the shelves were all slanted backwards (they held sheet sets) so would be no good for displaying Transformers.
